Here's a little picture from our front garden for all of you that are up north and under a foot or more of snow!

Think warm thoughts!

I am so jealous! I am up in Central PA, no snow here but we have had 3+ inches of rain in the past 10 days. I want spring to hurry up and get here!

Thanks so much Claudine!
Here in Quebec, we had our 9th snowtorms this weekend. I never saw as much snow as this winter (we received near 4 meters of snow!!). Imagine! I'm not sure if we ever see flowers again...

Wow - that is a far stretch from the photo I posted on my blog today. Spring doesn't come that quickly in Norway :)

WOW Claudine..this is exactly what I needed to see..what a lovely view...I am constantly blinded with the sun's refelction on the snow right now...so this makes me long for spring to arrive...

I'm hosting a party on my blog with a chance to win a free give away (like you need a mixed media collage ...lol) ....hope you have a chance to pop by...

Cheers,
Diana

Claudine, I drove over to Orlando and Winter Park last week, and always love the riot of color this time of the year. Of course we have it here in Tampa too, but I have a soft spot for the place I lived for 15 years!
It's so beautiful right now.
